Abstract

Workpieces are stored in idling stages of transfer presses. The support elements (14) which are to be interchanged with the work tool change are to be rotated for bridging a larger idling stage area when brought into the idling stage in the transport direction of the workpieces. Toothed racks (7) which are movable in the direction of the support elements (14) brought-in with the sliding table into the transfer press are attached for that purpose at a gripping and holding mechanism. The toothed racks (7) are adapted to be connected with a traverse (13) carrying the support elements, whereby the support elements (14) are supported at the traverse (13) by way of mounting means (15), to which a rotary movement is adapted to be imparted and which are operatively connected with a rotary drive.
